I don't know how many of you read Philadelphia Weekly, but there's a column called The Angry Grammarian, which is excellent. Anyway, this was in the column this week:
"Gather ’round, danglers! Copy Editor newsletter is hosting a 90-minute interactive audio conference. It’s less fun when you can’t see your fellow nerds face to face, but “Grammar Bugbears: Modifiers and Prepositions” shouldn’t disappoint. (Please oh please let there be a modifier fight.)
It’s hosted by Copy Editor editor Wendalyn Nichols, who promises to give listeners the tools to successfully fight their editors on why it’s okay to split an infinitive. In other words, essential life skills.
Dial in at 11:30 a.m. Tues., June 26. Go to www.mcmurry.com for details."
